We knew they would be good, but to be that good? No way. They were AMAZING and even to say that isn't enough. Our wedding was beautiful, but it was absolute perfection and the BEST party we have ever been to, because Sang Matiz was there, playing their hearts out and giving the crowd exactly what they wanted - a dance party for the ages. They knew how to play to the crowd, were charismatic and were the utmost professional.
Rana, their band manager, was an ease to communicate with, and went above and beyond at every turn. Most especially, when we requested they play our first dance live - Rana kept open communication and was honest about the band's capabilities from the get-go and in the end, made our first dance exactly what we wanted when it would've been MUCH easier to play the original off a playlist.
I could go on and on and on ... long story short, Sang Matiz made our night and will forever be one of my favorite bands.

About
...Sounds like The Gypsy Kings and Jamiroquai had a baby in South America! (Easier to understand once you listen to the music)
Sang Matiz has been performing for 6 years, fusing World and Afro-Brazilian/Peruvian beats with contemporary rhythms such as Pop, Jazz, and Funk. Thanks to a grant awarded by The California Arts Council Endowment for the Arts and The San Francisco Arts Commission for Cultural Equity, they released the album, “Ship It!”.
Most recently in August 2015, they were chosen and honored to open for the legendary Cuban band "Buena Vista Social Club" Orchestra for their “Adios Tour." Throughout the years, they’ve also had the great opportunity to collaborate with various renowned Bay Area musicians such as: Jackeline Rago (Master Percussionist), Miguelito Martinez (Flutist/Composer), Silvestre Martinez (Composer/Percussionist), and Grammy Award-winner Braulio Barrera (Pacific Mambo Orchestra), among many others. In addition, they've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with national and international acts such as Jorge Santana (Malo) and Pete Escovedo.
